The sound of pages flipping and pen's clicking filled the classroom like if it were a symphony, wow! I cannot believe I'm back in school again. Who would have ever thought that I would make an effort to continue my education, since I was very much satisfied with the life I had beforehand. I worked a full time job, making good money compared to my peers at school and I had freedom.
